oh and as for protecting the hen? with the crowing its like announcing to the hawks its dinnertime. its no problem here at chickory, but in ATL its bad. and V cant take the noise. it interrupts HIS noise -guitars, televisions, machines, cars....

i also believe that Dusty administered a "correction" to V's hand which did not impress the head rooster AT ALL.

We had a rooster named Fluffy (I kid you not) that we had to give away because for some strange reason he decided that my youngest was the next in line to his throne. ;) He ended up on a very nice farm with lots of other feathered companions to boss around. I'm wishing the same for Dusty. :)

yoborobo: Dusty is nice. but he is LOUD. and V is over it. I am scheduled to return to ATL saturday and he was like - dont come home if you still have that rooster. he's kidding but i need him to love all the pets. poor fluffy. was it a silkie?

shamu: im sure the chihuahua pack would just luuuv that. grherha

/t: oh you are so bad! no! he would be far too stringy. not kentucky fried more like..er....haiti fried chicken grherha

Hello thereWe have a small private school and the middle schoolers are responsible for the other animals (goats, pigs, ducks and rabbits). We have extensive gardens and a fenced pond that I think your rooster would love. You could bring him so that you could see his new home to make sure you approve.Thanks

i am so happy! i hope this works out. i had two other inquiries. its the photo. he is so cute.

That school sounds perfect for Dusty! YAY! And I don't know diddly about roosters. My son brought him home as a chick (he 'won' him in kindergarten after they hatched - how could I say no?). He was a gorgeous fellow, very loud, and not the least bit afraid of our big dogs (quite the reverse). All was well until he took a dislike for my youngest. I think he felt like he had to be boss of SOMETHING here. Fluffy ended up at a neighbor's farm, very happily strutting his stuff. :)

walking man: grrherhaha. well i thought about writing "voodoo priests need not apply"

there was an ad that ran in atlanta for years under "psychics" that i loved. it read

"psychics predict. voodoo gets results. call papa baptiste"

yoborobo: yes. bossy! dusty bosses poor easter all day long. and its too much for her. she will be lonely for a while while her sisters are growing up. but i think im going to have her with me during this time - like taking her with me to town or whatever so shes not alone too much.

shamu: grrrrrrherhahahahahaha! really. i hadnt thought of that. i did think of weird science or somebody who might feed him to *whatever*

aunty: i received 3 inquiries last night! the best was the montessori school with other farmy type pets. im hoping to take him there monday. see my comment above where i pasted in what the principal wrote. im very excited. what was dread is now a bit brighter -i dont want him to be lonely - he has been spoiled.

Mr. Boxer probably secretly hopes Mickey could be sent to a Montesorri school. He tries to bite him every night when he gets in bed. It's just too biblical for me to grasp. I love craigslist! If you're not looking for hook ups, it can provide instant connections and Gnome is right, you did write a great ad. He is a very handsome boy. New chicks!!!

but what about those future little baby chicks?you could have had a reality show based on the saga of dusty and .. umm ... cute little mama chick and all those many, many baby chickies! but, it looks like this montessori school just might be the ticket ..i hate to see him go though. he is such a beautiful bird.
